**pt. 2! There were so many comments about shirts I missed I decided to do another vid ASAP. I still have a massive list of shirts that haven't been ranked yet BUT I feel like 3 videos in a row is a bit excessive...but if a lot of you people want more...we'll do it...just later (maybe snag some wild expensive shirts to see what the deal is)**

anyway! see you next week!! can't wait!

We need a spreadsheet that ranks them. That’s all.

You are providing the best consumer reviews I have ever seen. Thorough, detailed, technical. Pacing of your commentary is economical and keeps me engaged. Really appreciate your work. A fan. Cheers.

been sick all weekend and have been binging these videos. glad you dropped a part 2 lol

[Mellowbaton]

I just finished my undergrad and I’ve been trying to replace all my old polyester fleece clothes. You and Rose Anvil have been a godsend. 🙌

I speak for the people, Michael, I speak for the people

Just found out your channel couple hours ago from one of your Levi’s versus Wrangler videos and been watching your videos the past couple hours at work and I must say as a Mexican from California I’m was soooo shocked you didn’t know what pro club was 😂😂wowww it’s what most of our parents would buy us cuz them shirts used to be $4

[WVRLORD]

Olderbest is more of a boutique or carrier of multiple brands, those shirts you've shown were from a brand they carry called Timecatcher Clo. They also carry Bronson Mfg products at Olderbest.

OMG! Because of this video, I ordered the Loop & Weft. It blows my mind. So soft and pillowy. I recently tried on the $185 Samurai Zero t-shirt and, though it's a different kind of t-shirt altogether, I far prefer the Loop & Weft. The natural dye "black" color is more of a dark charcoal grey and will lighten up more with repeated washings. If you're looking for a deep black colorfast t-shirt, looks elsewhere, but if you're looking to embrace textile artistry at its highest form, look no further than Loop & Weft.

I never knew how badly I needed your channel. Learning the history of clothing in these snippets is genuinely amazing and I've been increasing my closet slowly but surely. Still wondering how I've spent 3k on clothing in the past month but oh well I guess

compact yarn is a spinning technique that puts additional pressure at the point of spinning - which as you said - means less visible loose strands and a cleaner look.

BUT

It can also be a little bit of a cheat to use shorter fibre cotton in yarn weights that usually require longer fibres to hold. It is a manner of balancing cost.

It also is a specific look vs open end.

Most of my favourite print t's from my youth were on open end in a beefy t weight - which had a way of shrinking and wearing, that just made them look tough.

As a garment professional, I know sometimes T's should be clean...and then there are fashion swings that make me like clean, and then let me like raw....

Things like Tencel, Modal, Interlock rather than single jersey, compact spun, single mercerized and the like are all possible to get a cleaner look...while open end, maybe using carded or semi-carded yarns, brushing or some other techniques give you that more raw look.

So many trade offs - it is what makes a simple list almost impossible to do.

But also a reason you sometimes find something amazing at Kohl's, Costco, or any part of the Abecrombie group

Loved it, ready for part 3…. and beyond.
Btw Jake’s (Almost vintage style) video where he included Bronson was a great watch too.

[lbmerc]

3sixteen are still my favorites. Both the heavyweight and Pima tees. Heavy’s fit more like a vintage tee i.e. underwear, which is how I use them, under sweaters, overshirts, and light jackets. Great value for either option at $98 for a 2-pack. As long as you don’t mind the monochromatic color options

[philipbeadle]

Nice to see Pro Club get a shoutout. I used to get their tanks tops 3 for $15, and they were go-to gym shirts/work uniform undershirts. They're a little on the heavy/rough side, but they're cheap and last forever. And they really do hold their shape well.

[IanSmithKSP]

You’ve earned my sub. Your production quality is great. Your videos are rich with information. And you’re both sophisticated in traditional quality and yet understanding of the most cutting edge modern art, which is, in my opinion, Andreas Gursky

I have an unbound merino t shirt, which is 100% fine merino wool. I like it quite a lot! it was a bit long so I hemmed it myself, but man the magical qualities of merino stand out. Ive washed it in a machine once since getting it a few months ago and (aside from running the pits under the sink to rub off my deoderant residue) it still smells clean. Its also cool enough for summer. Cool shirt, although probably not as tough as Wool&Prince

[breh]

Make one for button down casual shirts please 🙏😭

[ryankirkman]

Another diamond in the rough you missed: The 10.5 oz Cotton Loopwheel Tubular Long Sleeve T-Shirt by Time Catcher, which is also sold on the Olderbest website. Time Catcher is a sub-brand of Olderbest (and maybe so is Bronson, or vice versus). Regardless of whether this is actually a loopwheel shirt, it is an insane quality for the cost. After showing my wife, she had me order some for her.

[biggunsclub]

Wow I learnt a lot today. I’m a T shirt guy and didn’t really know what made a good T shirt. Thanks for this amazing insight.

I just discovered your channel today and been binging. I usually never finish videos because my attention span has been wrecked but I've been watching your videos till the end and it's so informative and entertaining!
